For Overactive Bladder:I just had my third botox treatment. The first was great. It was painful but worth it. I did not retain urine or have an infection. What a relief. The second one was 7 months later and I had good results. This third one was nine months later and after 6 weeks I have not had any positive results.
I have an appt with my urologist to see what we can do, but it is very disappointing to go through this with no results. I thought I could control this urge incontinency for life.

For Migraine Prevention:I have gotten (now) three rounds of injections. I feel like I got my life back. I went from having 16-20 migraines a MONTH. I didn't see a way out, I honestly felt like my life was controlled by migraines and I sunk into deep depression. Since starting these I haven't had to call into work sick once, and am down to about 10 a month. That'd still a lot to many people but from where I was at? I was nervous about these injections, and although I'm not a fan of the act of actually getting them haha, I won't stop getting them. They've changed my life for the better. Side effects? My eyebrows won't raise and lower like they use to. If that's the worst side effect I think I'm good. Plus my forehead will look great for years to come. ;)

For High Blood Pressure:Benicar kept my HBP down to normal for years. Aside from fatigue and subsequent weight gain I felt no ill effects as long as I took it at bedtime. However now that the generic form is being pushed by the pharmacies my HBP is back with a vengence. The systolic number went from years at 123 to 190 in 2 months. The worthless generic substitute is Olmesartan Medoxomil! This experience has totally changed my opinion about generic drugs and where they are made. I reported this to the FDA because I was on the verge of having a stroke because of this generic Benicar.

For High Blood Pressure:Have taken Benicar for 10 years or so. Blood pressure around 123/70. When forced by insurance to take generic, now 156/89. In the past, I got name brand with $42.00 a month co-pay. In order to get name brand now my co-pay would be around $290.00 a month. Outrageous! Switching to something else.
